Daughter of the Sea — Emma Goldrick

She couldn't let on she knew he was lying

Rose was found washed ashore on a French Polynesian Island in the South Pacific. And although she didn't have amnesia, that was the story she presented to Giles Gengron and his daughter, Josie. It was either that or risk arrest.

"I need to know who I am and what's going on." Rose fretted convincingly. "You do know, don't you?"

She could hardly argue when Giles slipped a gold band on her finger and delivered his own bold-faced lie. "Oh, yes, I know all about you." He assured her. "You're my wife. And you're Josie's mother."
